- ScottMcIntyre, on 09/10/2008, -0/+18I had to laugh at the meerkats standing up advertising the FIFA World Cup in South Africa. Kind of crazy :)
- paulhendrixson, on 09/11/2008, -0/+17Don't make the same mistake I did - I was telling my friends about the World AIDS day poster - "Haha, the Grim Reaper is slipping on a condom."
*awkward silence* - thegamingguy, on 09/10/2008, -0/+15I like the very last one the best.
- inactive, on 09/10/2008, -1/+14i thought the burger king one was cool
- k104, on 09/12/2008, -0/+11"15 square kilometers of rain forest dissarears every minute" ???
- KingGorilla, on 09/12/2008, -0/+11I don't usually have rabbit meat in my fridge.
- grayiscolorful, on 09/11/2008, -0/+10dammmmmnnnn Marge....
- elpassion, on 09/10/2008, -0/+9Very nice. Last one is best.
- floridiot2, on 09/12/2008, -0/+7Is that a goatse chest pic?
- annjay, on 09/11/2008, -0/+6There must be innovation and creativity involve in any successful creative advertisement campaign.
- jwolcott, on 09/12/2008, -0/+4And here I thought it was a banana...
- kishosingh, on 09/12/2008, -1/+5Marketing depends of advertisement. And this is the best way to explore about the products before the audience.
- t3hmyth, on 09/11/2008, -2/+5The frosted mini-wheat's reflection should be upside down.
Buried as inaccurate. - Humdain, on 09/12/2008, -0/+3Haha yeah I saw that too.
- inactive, on 09/11/2008, -0/+3the one with the heart is impressive
- paloooz, on 09/12/2008, -0/+3The McDonald's one? Really?
- inactive, on 09/12/2008, -0/+3lol @ death slipping on the condom
- noahgelman, on 09/12/2008, -0/+3Why aren't the ads for the systems and hand-helds as good as the ones the Gameboy Advanced had? Those were bad ass.
- NoozeHound, on 09/12/2008, -0/+2The PS2 commercials that got banned in the UK were pretty good though. Thinking about it there was money spent on an X-Box series too, but I'm a bit foggy on the content, I'm thinking press rather than TV.
- DanThe1Man, on 09/12/2008, -0/+2Forbidden? Brilliant! Whatever it is, I want to buy it!
- TnTBass, on 09/12/2008, -0/+2That obesity is suicide one has some great fine print:
"But it doesn't have to end that way. Find out how ..... surgery can help". (I couldn't read the word before surgery).
Inventive ad? Perhaps. Horrible message? Definitely. (Unless it says "Find out how avoiding surgery can help" but I doubt it) - CamJam, on 09/12/2008, -0/+2Took me 10 minutes of thinking about it before I figured it out... then again, I spent 2 of those minutes reloading the bowl
- kitkatsavvy, on 09/12/2008, -0/+1I wanna buy that blue titanic boat - its awful cute :)
- spookyttws, on 09/12/2008, -1/+2You didn't finish your last sentence. If thy are like the ones you know who apparently work for ***** companies...what.. Do you feel sorry for them? Also, no the rest aren't *****. Most of them are really interesting and different.
- storyboards, on 10/01/2008, -0/+1Very cool compilation!
- theforrester, on 09/12/2008, -1/+2These are pretty good.
- yerlamow, on 09/19/2008, -0/+1Oh, Nintendo, gimme more.
- simplyarun, on 09/16/2008, -0/+1The Gameboy ones were pretty rad!
- JackpotCity, on 09/12/2008, -0/+1Oh my word, that's a tennis ball in the Lexus LX 570: Safety ad, ROFL!
Very nicely done. - noahgelman, on 09/12/2008, -0/+1I take back my generalization of the advertisements for new gen stuff. This is a banned X-Box 360 commercial. I just remembered it. It's an awesome commercial.
- iamtrist, on 09/13/2008, -1/+2I'm bored with the "advertising is evil" league. Can we just look beyond the product that and try to enjoy some of the creativity that has been employed to deliver a message.
- alexver2, on 09/18/2008, -0/+1Thanks, a great article! Added smashingapps to stumbleupon favorites and dugg.
- aliceyoo, on 09/26/2008, -0/+0pretty awesome. huge fan of awesome advertisements.
- CutieBean79, on 09/21/2008, -0/+0The German stop sexual abuse add stopped me in my tracks. Now that's effective advertising.
- inactive, on 09/12/2008, -1/+1Quite cool.
- Swerengen, on 10/01/2008, -0/+0dugg for death slipping on a condom - that had to be one interesting pitch meeting. Oh and dogs with nunchucks!
- jeromehmoss, on 12/20/2008, -0/+0responsible for the same religious duties; the only spiritual difference between genders or different tribes, (races), of people is their faith and good deeds. There are of course physical differences between men and women and Islam addresses these differences in ways that more than adequately give equal rights to both so long as they are followed.

http://www.Hey!Parda.com/PardaHey! - StEligius, on 09/12/2008, -2/+1The sentence is as complete as I wish it to be. Before that I said I "weep" for them. If you cannot see i feel sorry for most Graphic Artists working for ad companies your reasoning skills need some exercise. This is not writing class i can phrase things the way I ***** please. Besides all of this I'm real happy you find them interesting your the type of sheep the AD firms love.
- spookyttws, on 09/12/2008, -2/+1The idea of a comment section is to add to the story, write an amusing quip or point out something interesting/amusing/contradictory in the story. Thanking the writer/submitter is unnecessary (Hence being Dugg down). Digging the story itself does what your comment was trying to accomplish.
- DVnewsguy, on 09/11/2008, -2/+1Great stuff!
- yourbeautymark, on 09/12/2008, -1/+0Some good stuff on there.
- befreiphone, on 09/12/2008, -2/+0More Advertisements we need more Advertisements.
- MSP1, on 09/12/2008, -3/+1Advertising demeans us all. We don't need it as the web provides an efficient way to implement "user pull" instead of "commercial push". Advertising is massively inefficient and expensive. Simply by saving the costs of advertising we can finance all those things that are currently supported by it. The energy saved by not loading all those bulky ads from servers billions of times a day would make it worth giving up. In reality the only thing that the advertising industry has been successful at promoting are its own services.
